We came here with a large group and we did make a reservation in advance due to how busy this place gets! You definitely will get that spooky ooky vibe all year around here it is epic. We tried an array of drinks which are all fun and themed to Raven's Manor! I would say it is on the spending side, but worth it for the experience! After we finished up, you are free to walk around and check out some different areas of the manner. It was definitely giving creepy and knowing myself, I could have easily been startled! The staff was very attentive and really nice! He had lots of insight about any questions we have regarding things on the menu. I definitely want to go back look around some more and try some more things! This is a fun little gem of Portland and you don't wanna miss out!!

Overall, if you're a fan of all things creepy and Christmas, this restaurant is a must-visit. Just be prepared for a dining experience like no other.

This is by far my most favorite bar I have ever been to in my life. As a major horror movie fan, I fell head over heels with Raven's Manor. Every detail, from the menu to the vast decor displays to the staff dressed in costume, was absolute spooky perfection. My partner and I visited during vacation and this became an instant highlight of our trip. If we lived in the area this would be such a frequent haunt of mine (pun intended). Experience spooky season year round here and step into a bar you'll easily lose yourself in. Every menu item is a horror movie reference, and after ordering our drinks, we were instructed that we could explore the manor as long as we leave our drinks at our table. We spent a lot of time going through each display and wow the details are incredible - to say I was fangirling is an understatement. Our drinks - Lingering Shadow and Pumpkin King - were delicious and our server was awesome.

A very popular place for the dark and mysterious side of yourself. We went during Halloween time and they upped their spookiness. Definitely try for a reservation but if you can't get one, arrive before they open cause there will be a line and it can wrap around the corner of the building. Oh and I think during the weekend, there is a cover charge. It's kinda loud and there's lots going on so at times, it was tough to get our servers attention. But when they did come to our table, there were patient and knowledgeable. It's pricey for sure so be aware of that. The drinks are fun and unique but were not to my taste (I think they use cheap liquor). The food was all themed appropriately but lacked quality (in my humble opinion). I feel as though you are paying for the atmosphere. Would I go back here again? Perhaps! I'd like to give them another try in the hopes that I enjoy myself more.

This was the first time I've been disappointed coming here, the first two food items I ordered they were out of. Our waiter had to come back and take our order after checking back over the menu. They had a fun add on for their ice cream and they were out of that too. Super disappointing that so many items were completely out, and I wish the waiter had let us know when we sat down, but it is what it is. We got in there right before the spooky decor was gone, I'm glad we did, it was so fun! Spiders and webs everywhere, they're already a 'spooky' spot, but all the extras and light color changes at the tables were super fun. We walked around after we were done eating and I feel like I find new things every-time we visit. Unfortunately, our waiter was also hard to track down the whole time. It wasn't too busy, but they kept disappearing when we needed them. They only came over when they were bringing us drinks or food. I still highly recommend this spot, I'm excited to check out their Krampus decoration and do the elixir experience again if I can grab a reservation. If you haven't been, you've got to go check them out!

Make a reservation! For the bar or the experience, just fo it. They never have space for walk ins. You will be really sad when you get turned away for mot making a reservation. The Elixir Experience could not have exceeded my expectations more than it did. I was expecting a group experience, at a family style table, with a bartender who was ready to go home, telling us how to mix a few drinks. What I was not expecting was interactive dinner theater. I don't know how else to explain it. We encountered Elizabeth, Dr. Raven's daughter who took us on an escape room~esque adventure in order to get us to drink the first dose of an Elixir that would prime us for some experiments. I was not expecting an actual DUNGEON in a BASEMENT that you access by secret stairs! I won't spoil the rest of the experience but if you haven't already you need to put this on your must do list because if you don't you're missing out the the coolest thing to do in the area. The website says it's 90 minutes but we were there for a bit over 2 hours.

As always it's such a pleasure to visit Raven's Manor annually. This time there was a live music event where the cover charge was $15 per person though. If you don't care for it or sit too far you might not notice it at all. But I do love that they're constantly changing their drinks and you get to try new things. It's always a fun vibe and a treat to show someone this amazing bar. They are pretty strict around this time with how long you stay so beware! That's all fair game though. I highly suggest you ask waiters about each drink and what they'd recommend based off your preference. It has always helped me.

I definitely recommend this restaurant as it's a very unique and fun dining experience. It's a mix between romantic (dim lit) & festive (spooky Halloween). I recommend making a reservation and/or expect a long wait when you arrive - it's typical to have a line outside the restaurant as it is constantly busy. IMO, it's best to arrive at the time they open. We arrived 20 minutes before they opened and there was a line already forming outside the entrance, but we got in quickly as soon as they opened. We came here for dinner and drinks and it was such a fun experience. The ambience is filled with thoughtful, spooky decorations at every part of the restaurant including the table settings, decor, lighting, menu names/items, & food/drink presentations. Even the staff were dressed in costumes and acted/spoke in a haunted & eery way which fit right in with the theme. The food was delicious. The 3 drinks we ordered (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Crystal Ball, & Sanderson's Life Potion) were all delicious, well made, & arrived with fun presentation. The food we ordered (app: Killer Shrimp & entrees: Grilled Cheese of Darkness, Parasitic Mind Risotto) were all delicious and full of flavor. The only complaint I can say is the risotto came with shrimp that still had the shell/tail which made it quite difficult and messy to eat. I would've preferred they unshelled the shrimp considering it was a $30 dish and it required a lot of work (& mess) to eat under such a dim lit setting. Above all, highly recommend & I look forward to another opportunity to try it again!

"It's always Halloween in my soul." Is this you? Then Raven's Manor is the spot for you, if you're like me. I was able to snag a 9pm reservation after randomly coming across this place on Google Maps, looking for places to go near our hotel. I was hyped for this one as a spooky fan. Service here was great and so were the drinks and beignets! I had the Chemical X (mocktail) and Jekyll and Hyde (cocktail). Ambiance was also fantastic here - it's great to look around and take pics.
